Tour Description:


The Ultimate Scottish Experience - The Lowlands, Northern Highlands, and the most dramatic of the West Coast Islands. We do it all.

This is the ultimate Scottish experience. In five wonderful days you will explore this great land of ours, soak up its dramatic highland scenery, discover its turbulent past and get to know Scotland's warm and welcoming people. Your journey will take you through high mountain passes and across historic battlefield, along rugged and beautiful coastlines and through misty glens. You'll also spend two nights on one of the most beautiful islands in the world . the Isle of Skye.

Day 1
Through the Highlands to Loch Ness...
The tour starts by heading north through the stunning lowland countryside of Fife and Perthshire. Take a woodland walk along the riverside at Dunkeld and visit its ancient cathedral, then travel into the heart of the Highlands and explore Loch Ness, where you can take a cruise*.

Day 2
Mountains, Castles and the Magical Isle of Skye...
Day two takes you through the stunning scenery of Glen Affric. How about a stoll up to a stunning waterfall surrounded by ancient Caledonian forest? You then pass the Torridon Mountains, visit the stunningly beautiful Eilean Donan Castle* and go on, over the sea, to the magical Isle of Skye.

Day 3
A Whole Day to explore Skye...
You'll have the whole of the third day to explore Skye's mysteries and landscape. Here the mountains and beaches beckon, so lose yourself amongst the spectacular scenery of the Cuillin Mountains, the slanting hills of Quiraing and the incredible Trotternish Peninsula.

Day 4
A day of High Hills and History...
Day four sees you travelling south past Ben Nevis (Britain's tallest peak) and down the dramatic west coast and through the haunting landscape of Glen Coe (scene of the terrible massacre of the MacDonald Clan).

Day 5
Find Ancient Scotland at Your Feet...
On day five explore Scotland's ancient past at Kilmartin Glen, where over 5000 years of history are laid out before you. Walk in the footsteps of the first Scots at Dunadd Hill fort and the Temple Wood Stone Circle.
